The 26th amendment (granting the right to vote for 18  year-olds) took
only 3 months & 8 days to be ratified!  Why?    Simple! The people
demanded it. That  was in 1971…before computers, before e-mail,
before cell  phones,  etc.

Of the 27 amendments to the Constitution, seven (7) took 1  year or
less to become the law of the land…all  because of public  pressure.

I’m asking each addressee to forward this email to a  minimum of
twenty people on their address list; in turn ask  each of those to do
likewise.

In three days, most people in The United States of America  will have
the message. This is one idea that really should be  passed  around.

Congressional Reform Act of  2011

1. No Tenure / No Pension.
A  Congressman collects a salary while in office and receives no  pay
when they are out of  office.

2. All Senate and House of Representatives members (past,  present &
future) will participate in Social Security.
All funds in the  Congressional retirement fund move to the Social
Security  system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social
Security system, and all Congress men and women participate at  the
same level as the American people. Funds collected may not  be used
for any other purpose or   programs.

3. Congress men and women can purchase their own  retirement plan and
will pay the same rates as all Americans  do.

4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise.  Congressional
pay will be determined by the individual states  they represent every
two years with the raises limited to the  lower of CPI or 3%. with no
special  adjustments.

5. Congress loses their current health care system and  participates
in the same health care system as the states they  represent and the
American  people.

6. Congress will equally abide by all laws they impose on  the
American people.   No provisions for special  treatment will be
allowed.

7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen are  void effective
1/1/12.
The American people did not make this contract with  Congressmen.
Congressmen made all these contracts for  themselves.
Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career.  The Founding Fathers
envisioned citizen legislators, so ours  should serve their term(s),
then go home and back to  work.

If each person contacts a minimum of twenty people then it  will only
take three days for most people (in the U.S.  ) to receive the
message. Maybe it is  time.

THIS  IS HOW WE  BEGIN TO FIX CONGRESS AND OUR  COUNTRY.


If you agree with the above, pass it on. If not, just  delete.
